Review

On the "dumb blonde" role of Roslyn in "The Misfits": "He was supposed to be writing this for me. He could have written me anything and he comes up with this. If that's what he thinks of me, well, then I'm not for him and he's not for me."

"[A]n engrossing book."

Annotation

In 1961, playwright Arthur Miller wrote the screenplay for the film, THE MISFITS, which was directed by John Houston and starred Marilyn Monroe and Clarke Gable. Serge Toubiana, editor-in-chief of Cahiers du Cinema, provides an interview with Miller, commentary on the film, and 200 relevant photographs.

Miller wrote this screenplay as a vehicle for his wife, Marilyn Monroe, a present for her after a miscarriage. In the drama, three cowboys are rounding up mustangs which are too small for riding, and therefore will be slaughtered for dog food--these horses are called "misfits". The cowboys use, instead of horses and lassos in the Western days of old, pickup trucks and airplanes. Monroe's part was that of Roslyn, a dance-hall girl who identifies with the horses.
